Description Suggest change

Very fun and beautiful problem. Slippery Quartzite, but well worth the trek out to this area. The movement is amazing. Sit start low and to the right on a low crimp edge, make a big move out left to another crimp edge and then bring your right foot towards the middle of your body onto a good edge. Make a powerful move to pinch/crimp the horn in the middle of the problem and then bring your feet up. Make another powerful move up and to the left of the horn with your left hand to a small circular edge below the lip. Get your left foot up and then with your land hand slap to the top. The top is very slippery so carefully bring both hands up, work your feet and hands until you are on the right-hand side of the lip on decent holds. Swing your left foot over the lip and start to pressure up with your hands and feet. Difficult top out, be careful. Pad well.

Location Suggest change

Very close to The Sharpest Knife and the mouth of the Pittsford Ice Caves at the bottom of the scree field in the valley. It is uphill and to the left from The Sharpest Knife and the mouth of the main cave. It is behind a tall pillar-like boulder that is visible from the bottom of the scree field. The problem is somewhat hidden as you have to go partially into a cave-like area to start.
